Speed Limit 55

The Highway Energy Conservation Act that set the speed limit at 55 was projected by the Federal government to reduce gasoline consumption by 2.2% nationwide.  Actual savings were only in the .5% range.  It was however, a major source or revenue for many jurisdictions as the limit was widely disregarded by motorists.  Our family sedan went to a Chevrolet Caprice with a 305 and a Chevrolet Cavalier, which was a real P.O.S. and an embarrassment to a once great American Automobile industry.  I think the Cavalier topped out around 55.

We ran another victory lap and then proceeded to the wood shed on #15 for pull-ups and push-ups.  Prayers for Deuce, hope the ankle is OK brother.

Pleasure to lead, peace out….Tom.
